    Area of Science:

    • Optical Engineering
    • Biomedical Optics

    Background:

    • Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensors (SHWFS) are vital for measuring wavefront aberrations.
    • Conventional SHWFS have a limited dynamic range, restricting their application in high-aberration scenarios.
    • Expanding SHWFS dynamic range often compromises spatial resolution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and validate an adaptive spot search method to expand the dynamic range of SHWFS.
    • To enable accurate wavefront aberration measurement without sacrificing spatial resolution.
    • To offer a single-shot, fast processing solution for dynamic range extension.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed an adaptive spot search algorithm utilizing approximate spot displacements.
    • Employed a specialized microlens array generating both spots and discriminable patterns.
    • Validated the method through optical experiments and numerical simulations.

    Main Results:

    • The adaptive spot search method successfully expanded the dynamic range of the SHWFS.
    • Wavefront aberrations were accurately measured even when spots fell outside the conventional detection area.
    • The proposed method demonstrated comparable performance to conventional SHWFS with significantly enhanced dynamic range.

    Conclusions:

    • The adaptive spot search method effectively expands SHWFS dynamic range without compromising spatial resolution.
    • This innovation offers a practical solution for measuring significant wavefront aberrations in a single shot.
    • The method holds promise for applications requiring high-precision wavefront sensing with extended dynamic range.
